So I guess ALL of the plethora of owners of these sets just vanished....

Fortunately I managed to get LG to replace the panel under warranty.

This is probably completely unrelated however I feel the need to share.

This problem occurred only with my Direct Genie DVR. However roughly 50% of the time, when I switched off the DirecTV input to something else (Apple TV, PS3, WD My Cloud) and watched any amount of content and then switched back to the DirecTV DVR, the entire feed was magenta, black and white. I had the box replaced twice and the problem still to this day occurs. It's the only source that has the issue but I'm befuddled by it. It occurs less often today but nonetheless, the problem still occurs

[ Side note: The 2nd time I called DirecTV regarding the issue they paired me with a "Technical Support Associate" and the associate insisted my problem was a direct result in me needing to calibrate my display I laughed and said no, that's not the problem, the entire display is magenta and she insisted that my display's color setting were inaccurate and needed to be calibrated. ]

Hello. I just received a brand new panel for my: 60PZ950 from LG under Warranty (woohoo!!!) Can anyone provide 'optimum picture settings' for me to use? I understand a "professional calibration" is best but that not in my budget.

What a POS! After 2.5 years of having the 60" version of PZ950, the screen died. After a short war with LG they replaced the panel for free.

I'll never buy a TV or related gear from LG. I'm done with this company.

Well let me just say this... I documented my issues above that happened way less than your 2.5yrs. They were kind enough to replace mine for free! So I am VERY grateful and WILL continue to purchase their products.
In your case, you were FAR out of warranty period and they STILL replaced it for free. Not sure why you're b1tching?

It's easy to judge people via internet, without even knowing the facts, isn't it.

Without talking to their headquarters nothing would've been changed. And I'm not even talking about this model's sh#tty blacks, their 3 top of the line 3d bluray players with hard drive I had, that all went bad.

So, you like them - good for you, but don't judge those who don't.

Judging?

I simply made a legitimate assessment from your post. Now if you come back and say 'but' I've had a plethora of other issues, that's a different story.

After 14-15 months of owning this thing, I started to get this kind of images:

Been twice in repair (one paid, one free). When it died completely we decided that we have had enough, went to war, and got the new panel. Our third LG blu-ray player has so many glitches I don't even want to start.

After that, decision was made to forget this brand forever. I should've done my research before I bought these devices, so I blame myself.

Interesting...my 60inch died after...2.5 years! (the purple flash then...black). After wanting to slug me with costs due to being out of warranty, mentioned the Australian Cunsumer Law Consumer Guarantee which was strengthened in 2011. They agreed to cover parts and labour. Culprit was the main board.

Sorry to hear that. I can see why you code to bail.
What did you go with?
